Description:
| Tufts in Talloires, a six-week summer program for college students from Tufts and other universities, offers a dynamic group of courses taught by Tufts faculty.
Students enrolled in the program choose two courses from a selection of undergraduate offerings — most of which are taught in English — including alpine botany, anthropology, human rights, international relations, and French history, language, and literature. These courses are designed to take advantage of Talloires’ ideal location in the center of Europe, as well as its striking setting, which inspires reflection and thought.
Talloires’ proximity to the important international center of Geneva allows students to venture out of the classroom and benefit from visits to a multitude of international organizations, museums, and historical monuments in the area.
In addition to coursework, a wide variety of optional outdoor activities, field trips, and organized events offers each student the opportunity to explore the unique Savoy region of France. Students enjoy one-on-one interaction with their professors within the classroom and during field trips and other cultural excursions.
All students, regardless of French language ability, live with host families where they experience French cuisine, customs, and family life. Each year, students single out the French family experience as the best way to strengthen French skills, as well as the most memorable part of the program. | |
